Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign

Since we published our initial analysis of the axios compromise, a deep dive into its hidden blast radius, and a report on the maintainer confirming it was social engineering, maintainers across the Node.js ecosystem have come out of the woodwork to report that they were targeted by the same social engineering campaign. The accounts now span some of the most widely depended-upon packages in the npm registry and Node.js core itself, and together they confirm that axios was not a one-off target.…

Axios Maintainer Confirms Social Engineering Attack Behind npm Compromise

On March 31, two malicious versions of Axios were briefly published to npm, introducing a dependency that installed a remote access trojan across macOS, Windows, and Linux. We covered the initial attack and its scope earlier, as well as a deeper technical analysis of its hidden blast radius and how dependency resolution expanded its impact exponentially. Now, the project’s lead maintainer has shared additional details about how the compromise occurred. A Targeted Social Engineering Attack # In…

Node.js Drops Bug Bounty Rewards After Funding Dries Up

The Node.js project has paused its long-running bug bounty program after the funding behind it was discontinued, removing a key security incentive from one of the most widely used JavaScript runtimes. For nearly a decade, Node.js participated in the Internet Bug Bounty (IBB) program through HackerOne, offering monetary rewards to researchers who responsibly disclosed security issues. That program is now on hold, leaving Node.js without a funded bounty structure for the first time since 2016.…

The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise

Yesterday, we reported on a supply chain attack targeting Axios that introduced a malicious dependency (plain-crypto-js) into specific npm releases. At first glance, the scope seemed contained: Two compromised Axios versions A short exposure window A malicious dependency that was quickly removed Over the past 24 hours, we’re seeing many teams focus on checking their lockfiles and node_modules directories, but that only captures part of the picture, especially when tools are executed dynamically…

Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm

A supply chain attack targeting the widely used HTTP client Axios has introduced a malicious dependency into specific npm releases, including axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.30.4. The latest version pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that Socket has confirmed as malicious. Our analysis shows the malicious package deploys a multi-stage payload, including a remote access trojan (RAT) capable of executing arbitrary commands, exfiltrating system data, and persisting on infected machines. Axios is…

TeamPCP Compromises Telnyx Python SDK to Deliver Credential-Stealing Malware

Socket has identified a supply chain attack affecting the telnyx Python package on PyPI. The telnyx library is the official Python SDK for the Telnyx communications platform, providing developers with programmatic access to APIs for voice calls, SMS/MMS messaging, WhatsApp, fax, IoT connectivity, and SIP trunking. It is commonly used in backend systems to integrate real-time communications and telephony into applications. Because the library is used to authenticate and send requests directly to…

TeamPCP Partners With Ransomware Group Vect to Target Open Source Supply Chains

The ongoing attacks targeting Trivy, LiteLLM, and other open source security tools are entering a new phase, with claims that TeamPCP has partnered with the Vect ransomware group to leverage supply chain compromises for ransomware operations. Posts attributed to Vect on BreachForums announced a partnership with TeamPCP, the actors behind recent cross-ecosystem supply chain attacks involving GitHub Actions, OpenVSX extensions, Docker images, and npm and PyPI packages: Vect Ransomware Group is…

Widespread GitHub Campaign Uses Fake VS Code Security Alerts to Deliver Malware

A large-scale phishing campaign is targeting developers directly inside GitHub, using fake Visual Studio Code security alerts posted through Discussions to trick users into installing malicious software. Here's one example, saved to the Internet Archive, as we assume these will quickly be taken down: Early searches show thousands of nearly identical posts across repositories, indicating this is not an isolated incident but a coordinated spam campaign. Because GitHub Discussions trigger email…

5 Malicious npm Packages Typosquat Solana and Ethereum Libraries to Steal Private Keys

Socket's Threat Research Team identified five malicious npm packages published under the account galedonovan, all targeting cryptocurrency developers. Each package typosquats a legitimate crypto library and exfiltrates private keys to a single hardcoded Telegram bot. The campaign covers both the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems, and the C2 infrastructure was confirmed active as of March 23, 2026. One of the packages, base_xd, was published by the same account but was unpublished within five…

TeamPCP Is Systematically Targeting Security Tools Across the OSS Ecosystem

TeamPCP is escalating a coordinated campaign targeting security tools and open source developer infrastructure, and is now openly taking credit for multiple follow-on attacks across ecosystems. In recent Telegram posts, the group has claimed responsibility for expanding beyond the initial Trivy compromise, pointing to attacks on GitHub Actions, OpenVSX extensions, and now PyPI. The latest development includes attacks on Checkmarx' KICS scanner and OpenVSX extensions and a trojanized release of…

TypeScript 6.0 Released: The Final JavaScript-Based Version

TypeScript 6.0 landed today marking a milestone: this is the final release built on the existing JavaScript codebase. TypeScript 7.0, currently in preview, will run on a Go-native compiler, and the team says the release is imminent. "TypeScript 6.0 acts as the bridge between TypeScript 5.9 and 7.0," Microsoft's TypeScript Principal Product Manager Daniel Rosenwasser said. "As such, most changes in TypeScript 6.0 are meant to help align and prepare for adopting TypeScript 7.0. It may seem…

Trivy Supply Chain Attack Expands to Compromised Docker Images

Socket's threat research team has identified additional compromised Trivy artifacts published to Docker Hub, following the recently disclosed GitHub Actions compromise affecting the aquasecurity/trivy-action repository. New image tags 0.69.5 and 0.69.6 were pushed on March 22 without corresponding GitHub releases or tags. Both images contain indicators of compromise associated with the same TeamPCP infostealer observed in earlier stages of this campaign. The latest tag currently points to…
